Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Justification:

A PBT and vPvB assessment shall be conducted as foreseen in Article 14 (3) (d) in conjunction with Annex I Section 4 according to the criteria as laid down in Annex XIII. According to Annex XIII of Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 a PBT and vPvB assessment shall not apply to inorganic substances, but shall apply to organo-metal. Organo-metal compounds are defined as organic compounds that contain at least one metal or metalloid atom bound to a carbon atom. Because in metal carboxylates, the metal cation is only bound to the negatively charged oxygen in the carboxyl group via an ionic bond, naphthenic acids, zinc salts, basic is considered as an inorganic substance, and thus a PBT and vPvB assessment is not required.

The organic moiety of this metal salt, i.e. naphthenate (CAS: 1338-24-5), is not PBT/vPvBT because it is considered biodegradable, it does not meet the criteria for bioaccumulation (BCF <2000L/kg) and toxicity (no CMR or STOT RE classification and L(E)C50 values for marine or freshwater organisms are ≥ 5.6 mg/L).
